first time using https

Hi, this is the first time i'm using SSL (for CC processing). Since the URl of this page starts with 'https', all internal links on it have an https prefix which i'd like to avoid. for example, the link to the home page is https://www.mysite.com. How would it be best to approach this?
thanks

The only link you will need to have with HTTPS will be secure links for payment, customer area etc.

Also keep in mind SSL certificates are very specific, if you purchase a certificate for yoursite.com you can load https://yoursite.com but will get a warning about missmatched information if you try to send your users to https://www.yoursite.com

what i meant is, the menus on the https page are the same as on all other pages, so the relative URl all point to https://... from this specific page. One way would be use custom menus for this page with full URls, but i was wondering if there is a more elegant way that other more experienced users might use.

Wait a sec, are you saying that ALL of the links from within the https:// pages are pointing to that? If tha'ts the case, then it sounds like you're using relative URLs. Put the full explicit path to the page in the menu instead; that should fix the problem.
